When the server is started for the first time, you are prompted to configure the preinstalled Oracle Solaris OS.
Refer to Server Administration, accessing Oracle ILOM.
Power on the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface System Information page, click Power State → Turn On.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:

Restart the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management → Power Control and select Reset from the Select Action list box. Then click Save and OK.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:

The server starts the boot process.
From the Oracle ILOM web interface

From the Oracle ILOM CLI
Type:
-> start /HOST/console Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y Serial console started.
After the server boots, the GRUB menu appears.
From the GRUB menu, you can choose whether you want to continue to direct the display to the serial port, or whether you want to direct the display to a device connected to the video port.
This is the default option. If you do not select an option on the GRUB menu, after five seconds, the GRUB menu is no longer available and the system continues with the output directed to the serial port.
If you choose this option, you must connect a device to the VGA connector on the server and an input device (USB keyboard or mouse).
Use the information gathered in Configuration Worksheet (Oracle Solaris) to help you enter the system and network information as you are prompted.
The screens that are displayed will vary, depending on the configuration option you select (for example, DHCP or static IP address).
After you enter the system configuration information, the server completes the boot process and displays the Oracle Solaris login prompt.
